The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

* * *

5 minutes ago.

Sung JiHan, who was facing off against the Duke of Naseed, thought to himself.

"This... is it easier than I expected?"

Perhaps it was because of the reinforcement bonus in the canyon map and the buff from Sophia's Trinity.

As soon as Sung JiHan faced off against the Duke of Naseed, he realized one thing.

Ah, this.

I can easily win.

"There was no need to gather party members for no reason."

If he uses the Rising Nameless Martial Art, he can immediately suppress him.

But Sung JiHan continued the battle for 5 minutes.

[Owner.]

It was because of the Dark Magic power possessed by the Duke of Naseed.

"What if I just cut a little more?"

Ariel, who was in the Eclipse, persuaded Sung JiHan in a brighter voice than usual.

And before her words even finished.

[The Sword Shadow stat has increased by 1.]

His stats immediately increased.

"That's good, right?"

This way, it's worth stalling for time.

"If I cut the snake's scales, I can absorb even more power from the shadows."

Following Ariel's suggestion, Sung JiHan began to cut off all of the Duke of Naseed's scales.

And so, 5 minutes passed.

More than 70 percent of the giant snake's scales turned to gold.

"You guys... This is amazing."

The Sword Shadow stat increased by a whopping 4.

In this game alone, his stats increased by a total of 5.

As the power of the Shadow Sword became stronger, Sung JiHan was able to control the size of the sword more freely.

"I think I've absorbed most of it now."

"Oh? I guess I should start killing you slowly."

When Sung JiHan, who obtained Sword Shadow 5, was about to happily attack the Duke of Naseed.

A massive wall of flames suddenly appeared in the eastern and northern valleys.

"There. That's the area Balran is in charge of."

It would have been enough to just keep him in check like this.

Why did he have to create a raging fire?

Sung JiHan had a rough idea of what he was up to.

"He really hated having his spotlight stolen in my previous life."

But back then, he held a firm position as the American First Guild Master, ranked first in the world.

People were more relaxed back then.

If it were the Balran from back then, he would have at least waited for 10 minutes.

But the current him seemed to be in a hurry.

Fwoosh!

Sung JiHan clicked his tongue as he watched the Fire Wave fly towards the Duke of Naseed.

"Do you really think that will kill him?"

Even if he concentrated his mana and pierced him with a single point, it wouldn't be enough, let alone unleashing such a wide-area magic.

Although he didn't think the Fire Wave would be the finishing blow.

"I can't let it go like this."

From constantly picking fights earlier to this.

That... I should fix that habit.

Thump, thump!

Sung JiHan quickly distanced himself from the Duke of Naseed and flew towards the western cliff where his party members were.

"What, what's wrong? Why did you come this way?"

Thud.

When Sung JiHan landed on the cliff and approached, Balran, who had a piercing gaze, involuntarily flinched.

A complete 180-degree change from confidently saying he would deal damage earlier.

Sophia, looking bewildered, said.

"Why did you use magic if you were going to do that...?"

Baelan, who regained his composure from the criticism, spoke with great effort, puffing out his chest.

"Ahem! Sung JiHan! The warrior should be marking the monsters in the front. Why did you come here?"

"You're not following my instructions."

"I was just helping because it seemed like the DPS wasn't going well."

"Oh, really? Suddenly without a word?"

"The situation was urgent... I should have been there for proper DPS."

*Sigh*

Upon hearing those words, Sung JiHan smirked and opened his palm.

The party members behind Baelan all floated back, leaving him behind.

"Then go ahead."

"What?"

"I'll watch from behind, so go ahead."

Sung JiHan stood behind Baelan, protecting the rest of the party.

"I'll control the patterns. Ariel."

"Go to the cliff?"

"Yeah. That guy, Valkon, can't use magic simultaneously in crisis situations. Go there in advance and block the patterns in the east and north."

"Ah, I see. Understood."

As the shadow sword Eclipse seeped into the ground and transformed into a long shadow, it moved towards the cliff.

"Valkon? Who's Valkon...!"

Baelan was taken aback by those words, but Sung JiHan ignored him and continued speaking.

"Masid will continue controlling the patterns from the south."

"Got it, Owner."

Giving instructions to Masid, who was staying at the southern cliff and kicking the ball.

"Seah, come with Sophia and attack the patterns on the side."

"Yeah. Just like before?"

"Haah... I'm sorry, JiHan. I couldn't stop them."

"It's okay. They can handle it, right? You two, I'll protect you."

"..."

Baelan was speechless.

"Alright, the formation is set."

Sung JiHan, who rearranged the party members, smiled mischievously at Baelan.

"Go ahead and do it."

-He's so ruthless. Let's go through the training, shall we?

-But what if Baelan fails?

-Don't worry about that.

-Isn't it a problem if he dies? How do we catch that thing?

-I'm sure JiHan has a plan. Why are you so worried?

-What if our strategy with Masid fails?

-Our Baelan has a lot of problems. I apologize for the boredom.

-Oh, there's a smiley face next to the ID.

-He's a true American, lol.

People who find the training satisfying, and those who worry about what will happen if the raid fails.

And even an American who apologizes.

The scrolling chat window, in the midst of chaos, was going up without pause.

Meanwhile.

"Ha. This bastard... I thought anyone could do it as long as the patterns were controlled!"

Baelan thought it would be better if he did it himself.

Seeing Sung JiHan facing off against Viscount Naseed, it didn't seem like a big deal!

If he could catch it here, he could completely turn the situation around.

"I have the Absolute Territory. I can easily block that snake's attacks!"

Flash. Flash.

The remaining three eyes of Viscount Naseed sparkled.

"Uh..."

Sssss-

Until the Fire Wave he used earlier disappeared after touching Viscount Naseed.

Yes, Baelan was confident.

[Are you... my opponent this time?]

The gaze of the giant snake turned towards Baelan.

The monster's voice seemed much more relaxed compared to when facing Sung JiHan.

[Die.]

As Lord Naseed opened his mouth, a massive fire burst out.

"Ice Shield!"

Baron quickly created an ice shield, but...

Tuk- Tuk-

The snake's fire easily melted it away.

"What are you doing? Aren't you using your force?"

Hmph. Hmph.

Sung JiHan turned around, giving a nasty scolding.

"The absolute area is wide. Can't even put out that kind of fire."

"Shield! Ice Shield!"

"It's urgent! Aren't you attacking?"

"It's too noisy! I can't concentrate!"

"Push it away with force? Fire! Get lost! It goes out when I say so?"

"Eeek!"

-Sung JiHan muttered nervously from behind, kekekeke.

-Kekeke, that scolding guy is so annoying.

The protective magic created in two layers melted away again.

The snake's fire entered Baron's absolute area.

"Yeah... I can also push away the fire with force!"

That guy is doing it too.

There's nothing I can't do.

Baron manipulated his force and desperately hoped.

Hoping that the trajectory of that fire would change!

If only he had strong willpower, could he not manipulate the force?

But.

That was just a wishful thinking.

"Why... why doesn't it work...!"

The fire continued to burn.

Not only that, it slowly destroyed the absolute area and reached in front of Baron.

At this rate, he felt like he would be consumed by the fire in no time.

His heart sank.

"Kuk...!"

Until now, he had rarely experienced a crisis because of the powerful defense mechanism called the absolute area, so his ability to cope with this situation was significantly diminished.

The expression "a new chest" suited Sung JiHan well.

He tried hard to move his force to bounce off the fire, but...

Thud!

What bounced off was not the fire, but himself.

"Uh... uh..."

Baron threw himself into the fire.

Before his body melted away, he looked back with a blank face.

As if he had expected this, Sung JiHan was looking at Baron indifferently.

"So, perhaps... it's you?"

"Huh? You know whose fault it is."

Sung JiHan shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't blame me for this."

"Ah..."

Baron couldn't refute those words.

Because it really was his control mistake.

"Zen... Jang..."

His body soon disappeared into the fire.

Compared to his initial attempt to deliver a final blow with great momentum, it was a pathetic end.

* * *

"What are you doing, Jae? Kekeke, you bounced off by yourself, huh? Kekeke."

"This is a black history, kekekeke."

"Didn't Sung JiHan push him away with force?"

"Listening to what they're saying, it doesn't seem like it, right? It seems like he had a sudden acceleration, kekeke."

"Oh my god... Why is embarrassment my share..."

-As an AF fan, I even bought a Baron uniform... :(

-Goddess! We don't need to scout Baron, lololol

After Baron self-destructed, the chat was filled with mocking messages.

-But now what do we do? Did we fail to hunt the Seed Viscount? ㅠㅠ

-That's too bad... Just close your eyes and let it go.

-Exactly. Sung JiHan couldn't deal any damage... His personality is so dirty! Why is he only like this towards Baron?!

-Are there a lot of Baron fans here? Why are there so many IDs with such a provocative tone? lololol

-It's because Sung JiHan has a plan~!

-Ah, just... trust and follow~!

Even though Sung JiHan attacked relentlessly for 5 minutes, he still couldn't finish off the Seed Viscount.

People were worried about whether they could cover the gap left by Baron.

However...

Sung JiHan calmly stepped back.

'Seomcheon Lightning Strike.'

Then, his new skill flew towards the Seed Viscount like a lightning bolt.

[You too... die... perish!]

Unlike when facing Baron, the Seed Viscount's voice trembled slightly.

To block Sung JiHan's approach, he shot a giant thorn from his scales.

And he breathed fire with all his might.

But Sung JiHan used the thorns as stepping stones, jumping over the Seed Viscount.

"Ariel. Come."

[Understood, Master.]

Sung JiHan, who retrieved the Shadow Sword from the opposite side, unleashed his full power.

Mumyeong Shingong (Nameless Divine Skill)

Amyeong Singyeol (Shadow Divine Secret Technique)

Heukyeong Seungcheon (Black Shadow Ascension)

The blade of the Shadow Sword split in half.

At the same time, the lake where the giant snake resided turned black.

It wasn't just a change in color, but a complete transformation of its substance.

The thousands of tons of water that filled the lake disappeared in an instant.

And the black shadow took its place.

[Uh- ugh-!]

Fear mixed into the Seed Viscount's voice, which had shown no reaction even after countless cuts.

He struggled to twist his body and escape the shadow zone.

But it was already too late.

Shuuuu-!

The shadow began to rise.

A shadow that absorbed all the light, shining alone on the battlefield, ascending to the sky.

[Ah-]

The snake couldn't finish its sentence and was completely engulfed by darkness.

The black shadow extended further upwards, standing like a pillar in the sky.

Heukyeong Seungcheon.

The power of the Shadow Ascension, which swallowed light even though it was a shadow, defied the laws of the world.

If left alone, it seemed like it could climb up beyond the clouds.

'...With my current power, this seems to be the limit.'

Sssss-!

As if asking when the shadow pillar had appeared, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Shadow Ascension, which completely erases the opponent from the world, was more powerful than the Dark Soul Wave, so it was actually difficult for the current Sung JiHan to use it.

If it weren't for the strengthening from the demon faction and the blessing from Sophia, he wouldn't have even considered using it.

But...

'The effect is still the same.'

In the place where the shadow disappeared.

Everything, including the Seed Viscount, had cleanly vanished.

The water in the lake had evaporated, leaving behind a dry puddle.

The Seed Viscount didn't even leave a single scale.

And...

[The Seed Viscount has been subjugated.]

Sung JiHan received the subjugation reward immediately.
